Fractured Fairy Tales

In this assignment you will write a fractured fairy tale. What is a fractured fairy tale you may ask? Simply put, you will rewrite a classic fairy tale by considering changes to the plot, characters, setting, or points of view. Please click on this link and do the following:

(1) Read a sample fractured fairy tale.

(2) Plan your own by clicking on write your own fractured fairy tale.

Please note that you will have to print your graphic organizers and bring them to class.

You can choose between one of the following fairy tales:

- Jack and the Beanstalk
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Princess and the Pea

....or choose your own!

Have fun!

Classifying Animals

In this interactive activity, you will learn how to classify different animals according to their characteristics. Please take notes on the following by filling in the graphic organizer I handed out in class:

(1) The 2 categories of animals:- invertebrates and vertebrates


(2) Animal Displays

- birds and insects (birds, spiders, insects)
- ocean display (mollusks, crustaceans, fish)
- amphibians
- reptiles
- mammals

What is Biodiversity?

Now that you have learned what biodiversity means within a species, ecosystem, and region, try the following interactive in order to classify organisms according to their characteristics:

(Paste this link in OERB):

Be patient as you will have to classify many things before you get to classify organisms!

After you have finished the activity, you will investigate biodiversity within a forest habitat and classify various organisms according to a system that you have developed. Here is the link to the interactive:

Static Electricity

A. Please read "How static electricity works" and take Cornell notes on the following:

(1) Atoms

- Include information on protons, electrons, and neutrons
- Charges (opposite, like, and balance)

(2) Static electricity

- Definition
- What happens when objects are rubbed against each other

(3) Explain why the following happens:

(a) You get a shock when you walk across the carpet and touch your pet (this also applies to a door handle)

(b) Your hair stands on end when you take off your hat (this doesn't happen to me!)

(c) A balloon sticks to the wall after you rub it on your clothes (or hair)

B. More on Static Electricity

Try the following interactive in order to better understand why a balloon sticks to the wall after you rub it on your clothes:

Forms of Energy

Please read about the different forms of energy by clicking on the link. Take notes on the following:

(1) Kinetic energy      (2) Potential energy    (3) Mechanical energy

Then complete this interactive and take notes on the following forms of energy:

(1) Thermal  (2) Chemical  (3) Elastic  (4) Gravitational  (5) Nuclear  (6) Electrical

(7) Sound  (8) Light

 Once you have finished, test your knowledge by participating in the following Forms of Energy Game Show on the OERB website:

Sources and Environmental Effects of Energy

(1) Please do the following interactive activity in order to review different sources of energy (you do not need to take notes):

https://download.elearningontario.ca/repository/13/1382610000/GRD6SCIEU03A01/mme/U3A1_sources_of_energy/RenewableNonRenewable.html

(2) Once you have finished, you will help the citizens of Optionsville, Ontario choose between energy sources they will rely on. In order to do so, you must create a colour-coded Venn-diagram as illustrated in the interactive. You will create 6 different diagrams that compare the advantages and disadvantages of the following sources of energy: coal, geothermal, nuclear, hydro, wind, and oil.

Please include a definition of each source of energy in the space below your diagrams.
